Headquarters and Industry-Specific Offices as Spaces for Worker Consultation and Education

The ‘Nodong Hwahap Center,’ a representative labor welfare facility in Ulsan, has completed its renovation.


On the 6th at 11 a.m., Ulsan City will hold the opening ceremony of the ‘Ulsan City Nodong Hwahap Center’ in the large auditorium on the 4th floor of the Nodong Hwahap Center in Samsan-dong, Nam-gu.


About 100 people will attend the opening ceremony, including Kim Du-gyeom, Mayor of Ulsan, Kim Ki-hwan, Chairman of the City Council, Park Jun-seok, Head of the Ulsan Headquarters of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), and members of the City Council’s Industry and Construction Committee.


At the commendation ceremony, Lee Dong-il, CEO of Sehan General Construction, who was in charge of the reconstruction of the Nodong Hwahap Center, and Shin Jong-won, Director of Daehung General Engineering, will receive the Ulsan Mayor’s Award.


The facility tour will be guided by Kim Yoon-mi, Senior Deputy Head of the Ulsan Headquarters of the KCTU, covering the main conference room, medium conference room, headquarters office, industrial union offices, and rest areas.


Mayor Kim Du-gyeom of Ulsan said, “To respond swiftly to the rapidly changing industrial environment, cooperative labor-management relations are essential above all,” adding, “I expect that the Nodong Hwahap Center, which reopened today, will serve as a catalyst to promote labor-management harmony.”


The ‘Nodong Hwahap Center’ opening today was originally operated under the name ‘Nodong Hwahap Hall’ since 2004, but due to facility aging, reconstruction began in October 2021. It was completed at the end of February this year, with a total floor area of 2,097㎡ and five floors above ground.



Major facilities include training rooms, meeting rooms, a large auditorium, and offices, and it is managed and operated on consignment by the Ulsan Regional Headquarters of the KCTU.
